"I Want To Be King" lyrics - ROGER WATERS

ROGER WATERS
"I Want To Be King"

Make your choice, find your voice

[Revolutionary Priest:]
Make your choice, find your voice

[Chorus:]
I want to be King, Queen, Courtesan, Dauphin
I want to be Cardinal, Capitaine, King of Kings
I want to be God

[Solo Boy:]
I want to be the King

[Solo Girl:]
I want to be the Queen

[Solo Girl:]
I want to be the Courtesan

[Solo Boy:]
I want to be the Dauphin

[Solo Boy:]
I want to be the Cardinal

[Solo Boy:]
I want to be the Capitaine

[Chorus:]
I want to be the King of Kings
I want to be God

[Solo Boy:]
I am a great big pig

[Solo Boy:]
I am the King of France

[Solo Boy:]
His wife likes to dance

[Solo Boy:]
I am the Church of Rome
I stand behind the throne

[Solo Boy:]
I am the public purse; they think I'm bottomless

[Solo Boy:]
I am the public accounts; I admit I'm a bit of a mess

[Solo Girl:]
I am the American war and they say I'm rather greedy

[Solo Girl:]
I am the national debt; I'm big but needy

[Solo Boy:]
I am a noble

[Solo Boy:]
I am the clergy

[Solo Boy:]
I am the ordinary man

[Solo Girl:]
I am hungry

[Solo Girl:]
I am starving!

[Children's Chorus:]
The cake needs re-carving!

[Troublemaker:]
I'm a ravening wolf

[Male Chorus:]
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a ravening wolf

[Female Chorus:]
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a heart of thorns

[Male Chorus:]
It's the end of the shield of divine law

[Troublemaker:]
I'm the oak tree

[Children's Chorus:]
I am the oak tree and I am the columbine
I am the pig searching for truffles

[Chorus:]
And I am the peacock whose feathers are ruffled
